Omer pacha Latas
Omer pacha Latas: roman | Ivo Andríc
4 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Roman de peintre ou d'un joueur d'échecs, ce livre relate la vie du général d'origine croate Omer pacha Latas, envoyé en Bosnie en 1850 par le sultan Abdul Medjid pour y imposer l'autorité turque. La Bosnie, si elle dépend alors d'Istambul, est en réalité menée par ses knez, dont le premier, le Voïvode Zimonitch, règne sur la région de Sarajevo. Ces knez, Omer pacha va chercher à les contraindre ; eux s'attacheront à plier, à craindre, à attendre surtout. Autour de ce duel, comme en promenant ses yeux sur un échiquier, les figures se croisent, se rencontrent : la reine, épouse du séraskier, le fou, Costache Nenisanu, qui perd la raison par amour, la tour, ce serviteur du pacha qui le protège et pourvoie à ses vices, les soldats, anciens autrichiens ou croates islamisés. L'art de la miniature à l'échelle d'une fresque, par le plus célèbre des écrivains yougoslaves (Prix Nobel 1961).

I know you're never supposed to judge a book by its cover but this is cool. Thinking about making it the June #botm for the podcast.

Just happened to read this 📚 taking dust on my shelf 😊in French when I saw it is being published right now in English, with an intro from the great William Vollman.
The book is about a true historical character. Omer pacha is a man of Serbian ascent converted to Islam, and sent by the Ottoman to stem turmoils in Bosnia in 1850. It is a series of portraits a bit dull and flat of the persons surrounding Omer pacha. Barely worth the reading...
